Want to see the 4 main Gaudi sights in Barcelona: Park Guell, Sagrada Familia and Tower, Casa Mila, and Cass Batllo. What is the best recommendation to schedule visits to see all 4 sights with advance reservations using the available personal audio tours at al 4 visits over a period of one or two days. l also plan to go to a concert at Palau de la Musica one evening. Thanks for your suggestions

Well I was on a mission and I squeezed them all into one long day. But I don't really do audio guides, although I did listen to parts of them at Casa Batllo and Casa Mila. I also didn't do the tower at SF. And - I'm just fast at sites, somehow, I think. If you have the luxury of 2 days, then you could spread them out easily.
You could do this, which is sort of what I did, with the order mixed around a bit: Cab to Park Guell first thing in the morning. We spent around an hour up there and then we walked back down to the SF. Unfortunately, I had bought our tickets to SF for later in the day, so we had to double back and end up there in the afternoon. If you buy Park Guell tickets for about 9am, you could do SF for 11:30, would think.
Keep in mind that SF will not let you in except at your designated time - they are strict about this. Park Guell let us in 30 minutes early, but only because the park was not full...they're serious about capacity there...they counted us IN and then they counted us OUT when we left.
Casa Mila and Casa Batllo let us go in hours before our ticketed times. They didn't seem to care at all, although this was in April and it wasn't that crowded.
If you're set on doing them all in one day, I would do Park Guell and the SF. You could break for lunch after SF and head over to Casa Mila for about a 3pm entry. Then Casa Batllo at about 6pm. It was a long day for us but it all worked out and we loved it.
